PRESENTATION

"Extracellular Vesicles Winter School

Extracellular vesicles in health and disease

Gain cutting-edge knowledge in one of the fastest-growing fields of biomedical research. This English-taught winter school will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of extracellular vesicles (EVs) and their roles in health, disease, diagnostics and emerging therapies.

Through lectures by local, national and international experts, practical sessions and interactive workshops, you will develop key skills in EV isolation and characterization, experimental design, critical analysis of scientific literature, and scientific communication. You will also discover how EV research is translated into clinical applications and biotechnology innovation.

An excellent opportunity to strengthen your research profile while improving your scientific English in an international learning environment.
